The Authority Gap - Mary Ann Sieghart (UK Symposium 2022)

We were delighted to have Mary Ann Sieghart, Journalist, editor, non-executive director and broadcaster give a keynote address relating to her new book “The Authority Gap: Why Women Are Still Taken Less Seriously Than Men, and What We Can Do About It”.

Sieghart outlines key takeaways from her study of why women still struggle to be taken seriously in professional life more broadly, as well as including many funds industry specific examples. Commanding extensive academic research, and interviews with many pioneering women such as Mary Robinson, Sieghart paints a picture of how this social conditioning and unconscious bias is embedded in society and how we can counteract these forces.

Keep an eye out for more upcoming episodes with insights from the UK Symposium 2022.
